Another Sleepless Night...

Another Sleepless Night... belongs to the following groups:

All Out Emotion and All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical

10,000 things going on in your head
It’s like an amplifier laying in bed
So you find yourself climbing the walls instead
On another sleepless night…

Faces and places from near and from far
All meet in one place like that weird STAR WARS bar
And someone has taken the keys to your car
On another sleepless night…

You start with shooting shots of old memories
Then chasing some them down with some fantasies
Observing these myths we call realities
On another sleepless night…

The world looks different through the bottom of a glass
And beer muscles make it easier to kick your own ass
So you jump on your desk to entertain the class
On another sleepless night…

You do what you want because you feel free
Not caring what others think when they see
But its not really you it’s the impostors that be
On anther sleepless night…

The booze does it’s job and melts down the wall
And and you sing and you dance but inside you fall
The voices are drunk and are starting to call
On another sleepless night…

Look at me I’m an attention Whore
I buy my courage at the liquor store
At the end of the night I’ll be on the bathroom floor
But at least I’ll sleep tonight…
